No — our clinic doesn't work through a referral arrangement with a separate ENT (ear, nose, and throat) specialist. Dr. Kim, as a board-certified plastic surgeon, personally handles both functional nasal issues, such as a deviated septum, and cosmetic nasal surgery himself, in the same consultation and the same surgery.
This means you don't need to coordinate two separate specialists, two separate consultations, or two separate surgical plans — everything related to both your breathing and your aesthetic goals is evaluated and treated by the same surgeon, which tends to simplify the process considerably, especially for international patients managing a trip around a single treatment window.
Consultation Tip
Feel free to bring up breathing concerns during your rhinoplasty consultation, even if you originally reached out purely for cosmetic reasons — Dr. Kim can evaluate and address both in the same visit.
